--LEAD IN --

In less than two weeks, voters head to the polls to cast their ballots.
We know it takes 270 electoral votes to win the White House.
But there are some scenarios where *neither* candidate hits that magic number.
So what happens if that's the case?
Sandra Endo has more.

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS --

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WHEN THIS IS ALL SAID AND DONE, WE COULD HAVE A TIE.
THIS IS THE ELECTORAL MAP AND CNN ESTIMATES THESE ARE THE 8 TOSS UP STATES.
IF PRESIDENT OBAMA WERE TO WIN VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN AND COLORADO
AND MITT ROMNEY WERE TO WIN THE REST OF THE TOSS UPS --
BOTH WOULD HAVE 269 ELECTORAL VOTES.
THE LAST TIME THERE WAS A TIE IN A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION --- WAS IN 1824.
IN THAT SCENARIO, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTS THE PRESIDENT AND THE SENATE ELECTS THE VICE PRESIDENT.
CURRENTLY, REPUBLICANS CONTROL THE HOUSE.
PRESIDENT OBAMA AND ROMNEY ARE CRISS-CROSSING THE COUNTRY --- DOING EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO WIN OVER VOTERS BEFORE ELECTION DAY.
THERE FOCUS IS OBVIOUSLY ON THOSE KEY SWING STATES ---
AND TRYING TO WIN UNDECIDED VOTERS AND EARLY VOTERS TO THEIR SIDE.
we havent finished everything we want to do but everyday i step foot in the oval office, im fighting for your families
The Obama campaign is slipping because it can't find an agenda to
help American families, but our campaign is growing itno a movement that says we are going to get America back, get America strong, and help families.
--REPORTER ON CAM TAG --
IT WAS A FEVERISH SCHEDULE FOR BOTH CAMPAIGNS THIS WEEK.
YOU CAN EXPECT MORE DAYS LIKE THAT --- WITH NATIONAL POLLS SHOWING THIS RACE REMAINS TIGHT WITH ONLY 12 DAYS TO GO.
IN WASHINGTON, I'M SANDRA ENDO, BACK TO YOU.
